Chāndogya 5.14.1
अथ होवाचेन्द्रद्युम्नं भाल्लवेयं वैयाघ्रपद्य कं त्वमात्मानमुपास्स इति वायुमेव भगवो राजन्निति होवाचैष वै पृथग्वर्त्मात्मा वैश्वानरो यं त्वमात्मानमुपास्से तस्मात्त्वां पृथग्बलय आयन्ति पृथग्रथश्रेणयोऽनुयन्ति ॥ ५.१४.१ ॥
Then he said to Indradyumna Bhāllaveya, son of Vyāghrapada: 'Which ātman do you meditate upon?' 'Venerable sir, king, I meditate upon the wind alone,' he replied. 'This Vaiśvānara ātman has a separate path. It is because of the ātman you meditate upon that separate tributes come to you and separate rows of chariots follow you.'
Chāndogya 5.14.2
अत्स्यन्नं पश्यसि प्रियमत्त्यन्नं पश्यति प्रियं भवत्यस्य ब्रह्मवर्चसं कुले य एतमेवमात्मानं वैश्वानरमुपास्ते प्राणस्त्वेष आत्मन इति होवाच प्राणस्त उदक्रमिष्यद्यन्मां नागमिष्य इति ॥ ५.१४.२ ॥
'You see food being eaten, you see pleasant food being eaten. Whoever meditates on this Vaiśvānara ātman in this way gains radiance of sacred knowledge and pleasantness in his family.' Then he said: 'Breath (prāṇa) is indeed your ātman. Your breath would have departed had you not come to me.'
